My avatar pic

[MasterBlaster]

As long as so many pics are being posted I though I'd take a walk down memory lane and show ya'll the pine TD that wound up being my favorite avatar/tree shot.

 

[brendonv]

Sweet.

 

[Paul B]

hell, I have me a black tee shirt on right this minute with the same pic!

 

[pantheraba]

My bossman used to call those kind a "bull pine"...that's a great string of picts to see together.

 

[sotc]

history is good

 

[The Branch Doctor]

Those are cool as hell Butch! Thanks for posting them for us. How come you didn't post em in the Wesspur catalog thread? There's a couple that look like catalog covers waiting to happen.

Besides, I can think of a few fags down under that'd probably go postal over it.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Well, I did say that I thought my avatar pic would be good.

Besides, I can think of a few fags down under that'd probably go postal over it.

And I did say something like that, too. ;^}

 

[The Branch Doctor]

So throw them in. They're too cool of pics to leave out.

 

[sawinredneck]

Hell yeah Butch!!! GIT ER DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mike Maas]

You guys grow those Pines big down there.

 

[Al Smith]

You guys grow those Pines big down there.

I was thinking the same thing .

 

[RIVERRAT]

Pines that size here are very rare. Disease usually gets them

 

[MasterBlaster]

They aren't like that up there, Mike?

 

[Mike Maas]

The White Pines are the only ones that get close, and they are rare anywhere near that size.

This is the next tree I slayed after that first one. It was a lot easier, just set a pull line and ease her over. Check out the dog jumping up and down towards the end, lol.
And the snag at the left is the 36' avatar pic snag. It was thrown later.

[TC3]

My favorite of me is when I was rigging around a high hazard removal & a cluster f**k of wires & a guy pulled up in a van to ask if we delivered chips ???!!!???
The look on my face woulda been precious !

Butch, I absolutley dig those pix !!!

 

[Burnham]

Nice, Butch...real nice.

How much of a ride did the famous avatar topping give you?

 

[MasterBlaster]

None that I noticed. I didn't allow a thick hinge to catapult me. It just plopped over, whoosh!

 

[vharrison]

LMAO, the 6th picture is clearly the beginning of a cigarette break!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Hey, maybe I was praying.
